Native Plant Propagation

Native vegetation on Sandy Hook can be disturbed in a variety of ways. Storms, invasive exotic removal, restoration of disturbed lands and maintenance of utility lines and infrastructure can create the need for re-vegetation with native plant stock.

Funding was provided by the Foundation for a supply of native plants to restore disturbed areas and improve visual quality of the park when necessary. The National Resource Conservation Service was able to collect seeds from Sandy Hook vegetation and grow plant material for such projects.
